Description

This study enrolls patients between 5 and 40 years of age with a diagnosis of any sarcoma that has progressed on or relapsed after upfront initial therapy. The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of a drug called cabozantinib ("the study drug") to give to patients in combination with a routine chemotherapy drug called ifosfamide.

  • Take cabozantinib (the study drug) by mouth once a day, in combination with routine chemotherapy drug ifosfamide given intravenously on days 1-5 of each cycle
  • Complete frequent clinic visits at CHOP Philadelphia campus
  • Have frequent blood tests
  • Have EKGs and echocardiograms for clinical care purposes
  • Have periodic imaging performed as part of your regular cancer care to evaluate your response to treatment
  • Have research genetic tests (if not previously done clinically)
  • Submit leftover tissue samples to the study repository
  • Have fresh tissue samples collected (if you have a routine biopsy)
